txstarr Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to get more flavor from my hookah? I've tried many things... (warm water, room temp water, ice cold water... lightly packing my vortex bowl, tightly packing it (foil shiny side down). With still little to no flavor at all. I've tried Al fakher herbal sisha & Hydro vapor rocks after reading the many raving reviews. However I was highly disappointed after giving it a try.. I know I must be doing something wrong. Any help will be highly appreciated so thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm going out on a limb here and going to say, its the products you're using. That is if you have tried everything you said. Room temp water gives you "more" of a flavor versus cold or ice cold water. I suggest sticking to shiazo stones and a better bowl. Those seem to be downfalls to your less that great experience. Also what coals are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang67n Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 coconaras are good. The herbal stuff generally has no flavor or disgusting flavor. The steam stones Nerdy suggested are a great alternative for someone who doesn't want to smoke tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzbizz Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 If you want the good flavor, ditch the vortex and use an Egyptian bowl. Get regular shisha and smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I have never found an herbal shisha that I liked. Get regular tobacco they will most likely be more flavorful. Also make sure that your hookah is clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookyghost Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Honestly I'd give Starbuzz a try, I don't know about others but it was the first shisha that I could distinctively remember getting a strong fruity taste with. Don't get me wrong I know there are others that are better or equal, but it's a good starter shisha that is dependable, a little pricey though depending on where you get it. Breathing out through your nose will also get a good taste. What kind of hookah are you using? Barring everything else your taste buds might just be less senstive, if that be the case I don't know how to help you. Good luck man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
